My grown up and my child compete;
Tearing me asunder.

Age has made me far too wise;
Afraid to walk the sky.
I fear Ill meet my own demise;
Too smart to try am I!

Once I was a dreamer;
Who leapt and sang and danced
Today Im just a schemer;
There is no second chance.

They warn you and protect you;
From things they never tried;
Time stacks the deck against you;
And never tells you why.

Too late to fly

Let us depart, wild of heart;
Into the moment’s thunder.
My grown up and my child compete;
Tearing me asunder.

Age has made me far too wise;
Afraid to walk the sky.
I fear Ill meet my own demise;
Too smart to try am I!

Once I was a dreamer;
Who leapt and sang and danced
Today Im just a schemer;
There is no second chance.

They warn you and protect you;
From things they never tried;
Time stacks the deck against you;
And never tells you why.
